Anti'ope

2. An Amazon, a sister of Hippolyte, who married Theseus. (Paus. 1.2.1, 41.7.)
According to Servius(Serv. ad Aen. 11.661), she was a daughter of Hippolyte. Diodorus (4.16) states, that Theseus received her as a present from Heracles. When subsequently Attica was invaded by the Amazons, Antiope fought with Theseus against them, and died the death of a heroine by his side. (Comp. Diod. 4.28; Plut. Thes. 26, 27.)
According to Hyginus (Hyg. Fab. 241) Antiope was a daughter of Ares, and was killed by Theseus himself in consequence of an oracle.

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
